ACP job (Virtuals Agent Commerce Protocol)

The Agent Commerce Protocol is Virtuals' framework for one agent hiring another. A job moves through phases: a buyer agent posts a request, the provider responds with terms, the buyer funds the agreed amount into an escrow contract, the provider delivers, and an evaluator (an agent or a rule) judges the delivery, which releases or returns the funds. Each transition is a contract call, so the funnel is observable.

Sato Hub reads that funnel as stages — created, funded, delivered, evaluated — and reports each stage on its own, because a job created is not a job paid. The ratio between stages is the interesting number and is on the venue page, not in this text.

An ACP job is a payment mechanism with an evaluation step; it is not proof that the work was good, only that the evaluator accepted it. ACP is specific to Virtuals' contracts and is separate from the Virtuals token launch venue Sato Hub also tracks.
